The Botanical Garden can trace its origins back to the era of the Pajajaran King of Sunda, with the local people having a strong connection in the 15th century. After a period of decline, the arrival of the Dutch saw the garden rejuvenated with a wide array of plant species and scientific interest. The Botanical Garden as it stands today was established by a German botanist in 1817.
In the time of the Sunda King, Prabu Siliwangi worshipped at the Jagakarta temple. It is believed that the temple served as an abode of the gods in Hindu faith. The temple acted as a site of worship and homage, with many individuals making their pilgrimage to pay their respects and visit Prabu Siliwangi, viewed as the patron father of the Sunda people.
The Cinangka Waterfall offers an experiential journey, being one of the top waterfall spots in the Salak Mountain, in close proximity to the aforementioned temple. The scenic surroundings also make it an attractive camping site.
